    DNA Repair Pathways

    • Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) is responsible for repairing external damage, such as UV damage.
    • Recessively inherited defects in NER genes can cause Xeroderma Pigmentosum, a genetic disease.
    • Base Excision Repair (BER) is responsible for repairing single strand breaks in DNA.
    • Homologous Recombination (HR) repair pathway is responsible for repairing double strand breaks in DNA through the use of homologous sequences.
    • Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) is also responsible for removing damaged sections of DNA and filling the gap with DNA polymerase.
